There we go again, I’ve got another idea. This time it’s about the new Publish option in Visual Studio 11 for SharePoint packages. Check it out (and perhaps vote) here: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2745668-create-publishing-profiles-for-sharepoint-packages. Thanks!

I’ve done some posts about multi-tenancy and BCS lately, but haven’t combined the two. So todays topic (and no, it’s not a joke…) will be BCS in a multi tenant environment. Mainly because you have some choices to make and I want to provide you with some input on which you might be able to

As I was developing my sandboxed solution, I used my local development environment to compile, deploy and test my solution. All was well and my solution was working the way I wanted it to. So, time to deploy to SharePoint Online. I created a fresh new site, uploaded my solution and activated my feature. Wait

As promised, here are some of the notes I took at last weeks TechDays in The Netherlands. Some (perhaps even all) might already be known to you, but perhaps these help others to create better SharePoint solutions 🙂 I’m posting them as a little self reminder.

Judging by that stats, it seems like my blog was offline for a while. I assume my hosting party is going to let me know what went wrong here, so we can prevent the same from happening in the future. Apologies for the inconvenience! On a more positive note, I visited TechDays in the Netherlands
